Asbestos Removal FAQs
How do I know if my home has asbestos?
Homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos in areas like eaves, cladding, fencing, floor tiles
and wet area walls. You cannot identify asbestos by sight alone, testing by a professional is
the only way to confirm its presence.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
In most states, homeowners can remove small amounts of bonded asbestos (usually up to 10/m²) if
they follow strict guidelines. However, hiring a licensed removalist is strongly recommended
for safety. Friable asbestos must always be removed by a Class A licensed professional.
What's the difference between bonded and friable asbestos?
Bonded (non-friable) asbestos is mixed with cement or other materials and is less likely to
release fibres if undisturbed. Friable asbestos can be crumbled by hand and poses a higher
risk, requiring specialist removal by Class A licensed contractors.
Where is asbestos waste disposed of?
Asbestos must be disposed of at licensed waste facilities. Removalists will transport the
wrapped and labelled waste and provide you with documentation confirming proper disposal.
